[newbie] Printing from Gimp 1.3
I'm about to ask a potentially dumb question, so please bear with me .. :-) I've been using Gimp 1.3 for quite some time now, and totally love it. The only thing I'm not able to do is print from it. There are no options in the menus to print. How can I fix this? Or is it just something that hasn't been instituted yet because it's still unstable?

Yes, that I did. I've come to notice that there are many more options available in GIMP when you right-click an image, rather than using the menus in the main dock. Thanks for the help though!

I peronally replaced it with a simple qtcups (I use cups:o)) because I like getting the Qt interface to printing i.e. I can still change settings or printers. If you don' want that simply enter cups or if you're using LPR lpr Good luck, HarM -- Mandrake HowTo's more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Up comes the print manipulation window. Many things you can do there to do with sizing, position, etc etc . Set your printer up in there too. resolution,feed, paper.

Re: [newbie] Printing from Gimp 1.3
I right-click on the image, but there is no print option anywhere to be found. The option to print is there in GIMP 1.2.5, so I'm wondering if maybe the GIMP folks haven't set it up yet in 1.3.

I installed the rpm from one of the contrib sources (1.3.12-1mdk). Right-clicking the image gives me the following choices in the file menu: New Open Open Recent Save Save As Save a Copy Revert Mail Image Close Quit Strange ...

The only difference I can see is that I've got 1.3.18 so maybe it's a bug that's been fixed (it is a develop version after all) in later versions. Strange indeed. Try upgrading, I got mine from the Dutch cooker mirror I think. Good luck, HarM -- Mandrake HowTo's more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Printing from Gimp 1.3
Thanks for the help HarM. I managed to find and install 1.3.20, and sure enough, the print option is there. Yay!
